Across the region, a wide range of galleries feature work by
artists in various mediums. In the nearby village of East Aurora,
the Roycroft renaissance artisans keep the American Arts and Crafts
tradition alive.

Amazing Architecture

The New York Times calls Buffalo “a textbook for a course
in modern American buildings” and “home to some of the
greatest American architecture of the late-19th and early-20th
centuries.”

The Buffalo area is home to a number of hugely popular summer
concert series. One of the largest, Canalside, is situated in downtown Buffalo
along the waterfront, and features some of the top acts from the
U.S. and Canada.

Numerous smaller clubs feature emerging local performers,
touring bands and first-rate jazz acts, while local bars feature
local microbews, exotic cocktails and a wide variety of foods to
nibble on.

Theatrical Hub

A mecca for local and national talent, the city’s Theater
District is one of the largest concentrations of theaters in
the United States.

Western New York’s 20-plus theater companies present the
spectrum of dramatic literature, from Greek tragedy to cutting-edge
new plays.

In the summer, thousands of theater buffs flock to Shakespeare in
Delaware Park, one of the country’s largest and most
successful outdoor Shakespeare festivals. Only New York City draws
more people for a free Shakespeare festival.

Buffalo. For Real.

Gorgeous landscapes, a world-class art museum and some of
America's greatest architecture. And that's just for starters.
